"I can't even think about that," the 40-year-old said. Ripa met hubby Mark Consuelos, 40, on the set back in 1995 when they played a couple on the show; the two eloped in Las Vegas in 1996 and have three children together -- Michael, 13, Lola, 9, and Joaquin, 8.

Ripa lamented: "All My Children means so much more to me than any place, because [Mark and I] met there, we had our children there, it was a big part of our lives, and I think that to cancel a show that has been on television for so many years, what are you going to replace it with? I mean I just don’t know. I just feel like it’s such a training ground for so many actors."
